Terrific analysis oldude, some great observations based upon what we have seen thus far in the two exhibitions.

One minor additional point in support of your analysis - I think they will score more points than last year, hence more assists.

Last year they scored 3222 points, averaging 87.1 points per game.

Admittedly need to temper it a bit since we haven`t seen a regular season game yet against DI competition. But, anyone who saw the first quarter against Ashland had to be simply blown away - scoring 45 points and making it look practically effortless.

They will likely be playing up tempo like they did on Sunday more than last year, and that should help lead to high scoring.

So, at this point I think they will average at least 90 ppg and will have more assists.

Only other caveat is that there will be a lot of blowouts, probably more than usual. Gene always calls off the dogs, the pace of the game slows and the bench players don`t score as easily. More bench players to give those minutes to as well.
